Facebook has quietly launched an official Mac Desktop Notifications app that integrates with OS X to give you pop up alerts as and when they happen. Read on to find out how to nab it yourself.
Facebook’s latest iPhone app is impressive enough, but if you’re an Apple desktop user you’ll love this. It’s an official Mac application that sits on the top of the screen. One click brings down a menu with all the latest news from your friends, and you’ll get pop up alerts, Growl style, when something new breaks.

The Facebook application for Mac is still very much a work in progress, so don’t go crying to Marky Mark Zuckerberg if it crashes now and then, but if you’re looking for a more seamless way to get your Facebook stream fix than say, Seesmic Desktop, this is it.
